The Raiders will install some no-huddle for Derek Carr.

Carr was a no-huddle quarterback 100 percent of the time during his final two years at Fresno State and new OC Bill Musgrave just spent a year on Chip Kelly's staff. Playing faster makes plenty of sense. "They are building this offense around me, and I'm really excited about it. I lit up when they told me," Carr said. The Raiders ranked 25th in offensive plays per game last year (62.1) while Musgrave's Eagles ranked first (70.7). Expect the 2015 version of Oakland to land somewhere in the middle. Feb 12 - 8:40 AM

"He's got a really quick release, good decision maker; he's shown some of that grit we're looking for, some of that toughness, so he's a guy that we feel like we have an opportunity to build around," Del Rio said. Carr's numbers weren't great as a rookie (58.1 completion percentage, 21:12 TD-to-INT ratio, 76.6 passer rating), but his tape was often impressive for someone with zero talent around him and a midseason coaching change. Carr appears locked in as Del Rio's 2015 starter. Feb 10 - 11:43 AM

Derek Carr completed 18-of-36 passes for 158 yards with one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's Week 17 loss at Denver.

In an impossible spot against a motivated Broncos team with an elite defense, Carr had no shot. But he was the NFL's best rookie quarterback for stretches this season, showing an ability to read defenses and make throws even with zero talent around him. He started all 16 games, completing 58.0 percent of his passes with 21 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Carr may not be handed the 2015 starting job by a new Raiders regime, but he'll likely win it.

Derek Carr missed Tuesday's practice with illness.

It's not a concern for Carr's Week 17 status. He won't be a recommended DFS play against the Broncos. Tue, Dec 23, 2014 07:58:00 PM

Further tests will confirm the injury. Kasa's done for the season. He caught one pass as a rookie across 76 offensive snaps. Kasa will be placed on injured reserve and come back to compete for a roster spot next spring.
